Martin

Swindon, 46, masseur

I love being naked! As a gay masseur, I often see guys that are unhappy with their naked bodies, and it always makes me sad that society has made them feel that way. Having said that, it’s only since age 31 that I’ve started to feel comfortable with my own body.

I came out at 31 and a lot of things changed for me. I started to get a lot of attention from guys and this helped build my confidence! I’m happy with my body and I’d be attracted to someone else with a similar one – but I wouldn’t check myself out! It just happens to be what I like… Normal build guys.

About Gay Times

Summer may be nearly over but fear not, the GT September issue is officially turning up the heat with English ruby star James Haskell. Bursting out of a glass box and straight onto the cover, James’s appearance in GT is timely given Keegan Hirst having recently come out at the first openly gay rugby league player. James has long been an advocate of the eradication of prejudice in sport and had this to say about Keegan’s decision to come out:
“It took real strength and courage for Keegan to come out. He’s a tough guy, and the fact that his team mates, the fans and everybody has taken it so well shows that it can be done. And it shows that your sexuality really shouldn’t matter when it comes to playing sport.”
Also in this issue:
Keegan Hirst
Kinky Boots
John Grant
Gay asylum seekers
Cel Spellman
Rebecca Root
Natalie Imbruglia
Kerry Ellis
Jaymi Hensley
And all the very best in style, tech, grooming and entertainment
